Feb 28, 2021 · Figure 1. Friedrich Miescher (1844–1895) discovered nucleic acids. Modern understandings of DNA have evolved from the discovery of nucleic acid to the development of the double-helix model.
This article reviews the events and circumstances leading to Miescher's discovery of DNA and places them within their historic context. It also tries to elucidate why it was Miescher who discovered DNA and why his name is not universally associated with this molecule today.
Feb 19, 2010 · Friedrich Miescher (1844–1895; Fig 1 ), the Swiss scientist who discovered DNA in 1869 ( Miescher, 1869a ), developed surprisingly insightful theories to explain its function and how biological molecules could encode information.
